Abstract
The proposed project trials a fourth generation approach to the first year experience at higher education for students at the Gympie campus of the University of the Sunshine Coast. This approach values the strategic and important role that the students' sociocultural capital plays in their successful transition to higher education and engagement in learning and draws upon the support and wisdom of parents, friends, and community members in developing strategies and resources that are specific to the student and community context. It is underpinned by concepts of responsiveness, respectfulness, and transparency and is characterised by a Community of Practice.
